GIROUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now to do it again against those tossers known as Chelsea this weekend!

 

[Clegg]

Ando had a good first half. But he looked knackered going off at half time. Fletch looked good, I think. Tackled and closed down the opposition well.

Rooney looks like he's lost some weight too.

 

[Rad-]

I love Anderson's playstyle when he is in form. Shame that form only lasts for like 4-6 weeks per season, if even that.

That Vermilj kid is having a horrible match. Or maybe he just sucks.

 

[LegoArmo]

There's a reason I always put Anderson in my 11. He's a great player. Obviously fat and injury prone, tires after 60 minutes. That's when I'd bring on Scholes.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Man United are charging 45 :lol

That's pretty disgusting. Biggest pet hate in football is the ticket prices, it was usually just the Premier League set prices that annoyed me. You'd generally find clubs would offer reduced tickets for cup games, but that's horrible, totally taking the piss out of their fans.

 

[LTWheels]

They arent broadcasting it. Wow, football coverage is a joke in this country

Same reason why they don't show all the premiship games. Those that hold the highlights are afraid no one would watch the highlight show that they paid for if all matches were available.

 

[Arnie]

Sahin's class. Hope he starts against Norwich with Gerrard pushed up behind Suarez.

 

[Kyoufu]

Anderson costs more than our team combined.

Chim-Chimey, Chim-Chimney, Chim-Chimney cheroo!! Who needs Van Persie, you've got Giroud!

 

[Kamakazie!]

Nice combination between Anderson and Cleverley. Hopefully they can stay fit this season.

Same as early last season. Cleverly gives him a reliable outlet at lets him play. I want to see them both playing again instead of the old boys.
These 2 sitting I front of Fletcher with Kagawa ahead would be fantastic. Could make a 3 with 2 strikers as another option too.

 

[Yen]

Assiadi and Robinson have been fantastic.

 

[Fry]

Assiadi and Robinson have been fantastic.

ASSAIDI*

 

[Lightning]

Chim-Chimey, Chim-Chimney, Chim-Chimney cheroo!! Who needs Van Persie, you've got Giroud!

To be honest I was kinda nervous about him in this game because if he failed to score the media would have ripped him a new one and the pressure that much worse. Extremely relieved that he scored but he still needs to score in the premier league where it matters.

 

[ATF487]

Downing stop being so shit

 

[Arnie]

ASSAIDI*

ASSASSIN*

 

[ShogunX]

How has Mulumbu not got a yellow card for the ''tackle'' on Henderson?

Shocking tackle and yet again more referee bullshit. Oh look there he goes again and this time he's booked. Prick.

 

[Fry]

ASSASSIN*

WAYNE ROONEY

GIROUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That'd be fantastic. I want another John Terry humiliation.

 

[LTWheels]

Downing stop being so shit

He's terrible on the right. Better on the left. But Assaidi really is a left sided player.

 

[Kyoufu]

Bring on Cabaye, Ben Arfa and Cisse.

£45?! My ticket last night was £25 which I thought was fairly reasonable. Same price for all league cup games so the further we move up I think the tickets remains the same price...

Yup. Scumchester

 

[Steverulez]

Man United are charging 45 :lol

[Vivalaraza]

Less than 50k at Old Trafford according to Talk Sport.

Percentage wise it's about right with City's lacking crowd for last night.

Spoiler

we had worse weather too

% wise?

Wtf is that? Basically, the crowd at OT tonight would fill the Etihad. And it's a shocking £50 a pop.

Rooney looks sharp tonight. Some great touches and awesome range of passing. Anderson LOL.

 

[Labadal]

Saw Mulumbu's tackle now. Jonjo got a red for something that wasn't nearly as bad.

 

[ShogunX]

Yellow card because Wisdom got the ball. Superb.

 

[LegoArmo]

Not to mention the game is on TV too.

 

[Requeim]

I wonder if something like this would work out alright, i'd like to see it at least

------Rafael---Rio--Evans---Büttner-
-------Valencia--Fletcher--Carrick-
-----------------Shinji------------
-----------Rooney-----RVP--------

 

[Clegg]

A midfield of Carrick, a fit Fletcher and one of Cleverley/Ando could be very good.

And then we could have a front three of Kagawa/Rooney/RVP interchanging at will.

That could be very hard to stop and would be a marked difference in our default "give it to the wingers" tactic.

 

[JesusTom]

Bring on Cabaye, Ben Arfa and Cisse.




Yup. Scumchester

Or Bigi for Gosling, get some midfield bossing going.

 

[Fry]

Yesil is a bit sloppy when handling the ball, kind of funny :lol

 

[LegoArmo]

I love a good 4-3-3. Won the Champions League with that, basically.

 

[LTWheels]

Want to see Yesil get a shot off. He's just had a few too many people to beat.

Percentage full!

Surprisingly, this now seems to include radio commentary more and more.

 

[Mastadon]

Mucho impressed with Robinson.

 

[ShogunX]

I love a good 4-3-3. Won the Champions League with that, basically.

You have a good memory of that 1967 side.

 

[Clegg]

I love a good 4-3-3. Won the Champions League with that, basically.

We had Rooney/Ronaldo/Tevez as our front three though.

And a better midfield at the time.

Actually, a front three of Rooney/RVP/Kagawa wouldn't be too far off the 2008 vintage.

 

[LegoArmo]

You have a good memory of that 1967 side.

Like it was yesterday.

 

[K1LLER7]

Ando with that pass!!
Poor finish.

 

[Clegg]

Now thats the Ando I'm used to seeing.

 

[Slizz]

Lol Anderson.

 

[dc89]

Lol dis finishing!!

Welbeck didn't mean to nutmeg the Toon player either.

 

[Ushojax]

Adam Smith is having a mare it seems. Come on, son.

 

[LegoArmo]

First touch passing is so foreign to this team. I'm confused how they can play like this sometimes then be completely shit at others.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Giroud missed a pen

 

[Arnie]

Giroud missed a pen

Haha brilliant.

 

[Freewheelin']

Giroud missed a pen

SHIT

 

[Meus Renaissance]

Giroud penalty saved.
Arsenal hit the crossbar seconds later

 

[Mr. Luchador]

This really could be a Tuesday Afternoon Reserve/Development game.

 

[Hindle]

Apparently the trip from Tottenham to Carlisle is the longest in England. Ten hours or something. Owch.

 

[K1LLER7]

Team gets found out against opposition that press. Just like against Liverpool
